Any way to use GitHub real name instead of username as the commit author?
See original GitHub issueCurrently if a workflow step doesn’t specify author_name
, and I trigger the workflow, the Git commit author will show up as:
ruohola <ruohola@users.noreply.github.com>
This is of course already much nicer than having it just be some random GitHub bot email, so this is not a massive issue.
But, I’m still wondering is there any way to make it instead be?
Eero Ruohola <ruohola@users.noreply.github.com>
(naturally without harcoding author_name
since that would defeat the whole purpose)
This would be nice in Git logs where the author name would then match the name that is in my other commits as well.
